My opinion was based upon several conversations with Smith, face-to-face prior to the disassembling of the Airshow Teams, and conversations with members of the AMA Heat of America Airshow team that were active members when he had his brief and unsuccessful term as prersident of that same team.
..........snipped.........
On the other hand, look what he's done for expansion of the HQ Marketing Staff. If he could increase membership numbers proportionately, the long decline would turn to unprecedented growth.
Must be a plan there.........how many new dues-paying members does it take to offset the compensation of another marketeer?
